In the Mix: Alcohol – What You Don’t Know

n the Mix is the Emmy award winning PBS documentary series for teens. It’s true: What you don’t know CAN hurt you! So In the Mix takes a hard look at drinking with hard facts. We meet some teens who are recovering alcoholics and a boy who paid a high price for drinking and driving: he was left partially brain damaged from an accident. In a powerful segment, two 21 year-olds test the real physical effects of alcohol on the body as they drink and drive under supervision of the police and a doctor. They dispel myths about alcohol and ways to sober up. In other segments, we take a look at a high school program in which upperclassmen hold workshops on drinking for younger students, and we see what really goes on at a police sobriety checkpoint. — “I saw the Alcohol show and it changed my outlook on drinking. I never knew it was that dangerous. Thank you so much for that show, it really made me think.” -Meredith, student Over 60 half hour additional programs on topics of critical interest to teens are available as educational DVDs.
